Instructions for adding or dropping classes
If students have no holds that block registration, they may add or drop classes continually through myZou before the posted deadlines. If classes are full or require consent, students will need to get permission numbers from the departments.
A student who wants to add or drop a class after the deadline must complete a late registration change form (PDF) and submit it before the last day to late register.
No class, other than problems, special readings, internships or research, may be added after the expiration of one week following the first day of classes in a fall or spring semester, or an equivalent period of time thereof in a shorter session.
After the 25th day of the fall or spring semester, or an equivalent period of time thereof in a shorter session, students wanting to drop a class must get the signature of the instructor on the class withdrawal form (PDF). Students also will need to complete the late registration change form (PDF), get appropriate signatures and take it to 130 Jesse Hall for processing.
See grades for withdrawn students.
Please note: Dropping all classes is considered a withdrawal from the University and must be initiated in the academic advising units and completed before the last day the class meets or the last day of the term for regularly scheduled classes. Finals are not included as part of the term for this purpose.
